Triggered LOL

I personally think you need to be an 'Igor' to understand perl, most
perl scripts I have seen (and understood) can usually be written
easier and quicker in bash.
What I cannot understand is, why do they keep totally rewriting
 things just at the point they are working okay ? and then not
 backwards compatible.

I thought that was the question and I also thought that most of those
who posted were in favour of 5.0
